DORTMUND, Germany -- Thousands of Germans joined together in this western city Saturday to protest foreigner hate, the extreme right and a neo-Nazi demonstration. "This event shall serve as a beacon for the uprising of concerned people," said North Rhine-Westphalia Gov. Wolfgang Clement, alluding to Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's call for Germans to speak out against a recent wave of hate. Organizers said 20,000 people attended the event.
